National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) had the following response to a recent EPA announcement:

Last week EPA announced a preliminary pollinator risk assessment for the neonicotinoid insecticide, imidacloprid, which shows a potential threat to hives when the pesticide comes in contact with certain crops that attract pollinators. The assessment was highly preliminary and simplistic and the focus was primarily on agricultural crops. Nevertheless, we are concerned because EPA could go beyond the targeted crops listed to include the landscape site and landscape plant application rates.
